I don’t think that the first photo is a mirroless camera. I think it is a camera like the LX7, G15, etc. Look at the specification of the lens, they couldn’t make those f stops in a lens that small for a mirrorless camera. Also there doesn’t appear to be a lens release button.

Also there is no ‘Micro Four Thirds’ logo like on the S-1

Looks like a mirrorless camera to me – like the LX7 and G15, etc.

So these are the new camera from “Kodak”, but actually they are being made by some anonymous Chinese company who are just paying Kodak USA for the name. I don’t believe the mysterious “JK Imaging” is a manufacturer, just a front company. So, does anyone really know who is making and designing these?

Kind of like the “Zeiss” name on Sony lenses, or Leica branded mFT lenses that are designed by Tamron and built by Panasonic? Or something like that…

Not really the same, as I know who is building “Leica” lenses on Panasonic and “Zeiss” lenses on Sony. I have no idea who is designing and building these cameras. Until a few months ago JK Imaging didn’t exist and they have no manufacturing facility. So, are they just shopping these out to the lowest mainland Chinese bigger, and changing every six months when a lower price is found? Doesn’t instill confidence in the buyer.

Who the hell is JK imaging and who cares?

Of course it will not be built in Europe or USA. It will be build by Asia Optical – the company that designs and make optics and cameras for few decades. There is photos on Internet where partnership between Kodak, JK Imaging (marketing) and Asia Optical. No one would get interested in Asia Optical cameras but Kodak is a different story. BTW actual Kodak cameras we built be Funai so it is not like something extraordinary. Not sure who makes cameras for Sony, Panasonic and etc. Most likely they all are designed and made by the same Taiwanese company (kidding but might be true). Well Sony is a brand name for Minolta cameras.
